The engine can draw up to 14.5 amps while it pulls the water down and runs for hours at a stretch, which is a lot to share with a household circuit, and Icetubs' own instruction is a grounded outlet protected by a GFCI breaker in the main panel, on a circuit breaker that meets local regulations.

Icetubs also lists a heater option that takes the same engine up to 100.4°F. It is specified with the tub rather than added later, so ask us to confirm it for your order before you buy. The pump moves 55 liters a minute, turning the whole 92.5 gallons over roughly every six minutes through a 5 micron filter, while a built in ozone generator at 200 to 300 milligrams an hour breaks down organic contaminants as it goes.

Between 23 and 34 degrees you cannot simply switch it off for a week while you travel: the engine has to keep running on automatic so the water never freezes, and a burst pipe is explicitly not covered. Icetubs publishes these as two hard thresholds rather than general advice. For other tubs built to stand outside, see our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/outdoor-cold-plunges\"\u003eoutdoor cold plunge\u003c\/a\u003e collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eBelow 23 degrees it is a proper shutdown: engine off, disconnected, brought inside, tub drained. Most of the northern United States sees nights below that through a normal winter, so for many buyers this is a seasonal tub with a storage routine rather than a year round one. Plenty of owners make that trade happily. What is not reasonable is finding it out in January.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eAnd the other end of the range, which matters in a hot state\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e104°F is a ceiling, not a guideline. Icetubs gives the engine an operating air range of 23°F to 104°F with it running, and running it in air above 104°F is a named warranty exclusion in the same clause as the freeze rules. An engine that overheats and stops is not covered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThere is a second thing worth knowing before a Phoenix or Las Vegas summer. The 2.18 kW cooling figure is measured with ambient air up to 86°F, inlet water at 68°F and 50 percent humidity. Icetubs does not publish what the engine delivers at 100°F ambient, and a heat pump moving heat into hotter air always delivers less. So expect a longer pull down and more running time through a desert summer, plan the 20 inches of clearance on the shaded side if you have a choice, and tell us your climate before you order so we are not guessing at it either.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"itib-warn\"\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIf your winters go below 23°F, tell us before you order.\u003c\/b\u003e There are places to put an engine that make the shutdown a ten minute job and places that make it an annual argument, and it is worth thinking about while you are still choosing where the tub goes.

Icetubs asks for sessions of one to three minutes and a five minute maximum, your head completely above water at all times, entering and leaving slowly rather than jumping in, and never using the tub alone. Children only with close adult supervision, shorter times and warmer water. Cold immersion is not for everyone, and Icetubs says the following should avoid it unless a healthcare professional has cleared them. Ongoing conditions: serious heart or cardiovascular disease including uncontrolled high blood pressure, circulatory disorders, epilepsy, fainting disorders or impaired temperature regulation, Raynaud's syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, asthma or chronic lung disease, and recent surgery or injury. Passing situations: a fever, cold, flu or other infection, open wounds or skin infections, just after intense exercise, within an hour of a heavy meal, and under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Specific groups: pregnancy, and children under 12 unless medically advised and closely supervised. Get medical help straight away for severe shivering, numbness, disorientation or loss of coordination. It is all set out in chapter 8 of the operational manual that ships with the tub.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eBefore the first session\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003ePlug the engine in and check the breaker box on the cable hangs clear of the ground and out of standing water.

The engine built for this market is the 110 volt, 60 hertz version drawing 14.5 amps, which is what the cooling unit documentation and US dealer spec sheets give.

Icetubs asks for a grounded outlet protected by a GFCI breaker in the main panel, on a breaker that meets local regulations.

Down to 34°F you can switch the engine off. Between 23°F and 34°F it must run in automatic mode around the clock so the water never freezes. Below 23°F you detach it, store it indoors and drain the tub.

That is about 6.9 kilowatt hours of heat to remove from 350 liters against 2.18 kilowatts of cooling, so roughly 4.3 kilowatt hours of electricity, or about 79 cents at the current US residential average.

In a desert summer expect longer running times, give the engine its clearance on the shaded side, and tell us where you live before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"itxl-warn\"\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWinters below 23°F?\u003c\/b\u003e Talk to us before ordering, because the spot you choose decides how easy the shutdown is. \u003ca href=\"tel:+18885005675\"\u003e(888) 500-5675\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- ============ 07 ============ --\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"itxl-tinted\" id=\"costs\"\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"itxl-c\"\u003e\n    \u003cp class=\"itxl-eyebrow\"\u003eRunning cost\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003ch2\u003eRunning cost for the IceBarrel XL\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003cp class=\"itxl-lead\"\u003eWhat we can calculate, and the one number Icetubs does not publish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"itxl-stat3\" style=\"margin-top:24px\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"itxl-lbl\"\u003eFirst pull down\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"itxl-big\"\u003e$0.97\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e113.6 gallons from about 68°F to 37.4°F, around 5.3 kilowatt hours of electricity\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"itxl-lbl\"\u003eTime\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"itxl-big\"\u003eAbout 4 hours\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom tap water in mild weather, on 2.18 kW of cooling\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"itxl-lbl\"\u003eUpper bound\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"itxl-big\"\u003e$5.94\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePer day if it ran nonstop at its typical 1.35 kW.

Children only with an adult close by, for shorter times in warmer water. Icetubs is clear that cold immersion does not suit everyone. Do not use it without clearance from a healthcare professional if you are pregnant, if the bather is under 12 and has not been medically advised and closely supervised, or if you have a serious heart condition, high blood pressure that is not under control, a blood flow disorder, epilepsy, fainting spells, poor temperature regulation, Raynaud's syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, asthma or another lung condition, or are healing from surgery or an injury. Skip the session while you have a fever, cold, flu or infection, an open wound or skin infection, straight after a hard workout, within an hour of a big meal, or after alcohol or drugs. Shivering that will not stop, numbness, disorientation or clumsiness after a plunge can mean hypothermia; get medical help immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eThe first cool down\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003ePlug in, and hang the cable's breaker box clear of the ground and any puddles.

Icetubs recommends one to three minutes and no more than five, head clear of the water throughout, a slow entry and exit, and never plunging alone. Children use it only with an adult supervising, for shorter times in warmer water. The manual names groups who should stay out unless a healthcare professional clears them first. On the medical side: serious heart or cardiovascular disease, uncontrolled high blood pressure, circulatory disorders, epilepsy, fainting, conditions that affect temperature regulation, Raynaud's, peripheral neuropathy, asthma or chronic lung disease, and recent surgery or injury. On the temporary side: fever, a cold, flu or other infection, open sores or skin infections, the period right after hard exercise, the hour after a heavy meal, and alcohol or drugs. It adds pregnancy, and children under 12 unless medically advised and closely supervised.

Children need adult supervision, shorter sessions and warmer water. Icetubs says cold immersion is not suitable for everyone, and these groups should avoid it unless a healthcare professional has cleared them: anyone pregnant; children under 12, unless medically advised and closely supervised; people with serious heart or circulatory conditions, including uncontrolled high blood pressure; epilepsy, fainting disorders or problems regulating body temperature; Raynaud's syndrome or peripheral neuropathy; asthma or another respiratory condition; and anyone recovering from surgery or injury. The manual also rules out a session with a fever or infection, open wounds or skin infections, straight after intense exercise, within an hour of a heavy meal, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Filters, AquaFinesse, the ozone generator and the water pump sit outside that cover, and so do labor, travel and call-out fees. We raise the claim with Icetubs; under its terms defective parts are repaired or replaced, a replacement after the first three months may be refurbished, you may be asked to help fit simple parts, and a part replaced under warranty keeps only the time left on the original cover.
